Huaca La Florida, Archaeological complex in Rímac, Peru
The raised platforms and adobe structures of Huaca La Florida form an extensive archaeological site within the urban landscape of Lima province.
The pre-Columbian complex dates from 200 to 700 AD, when the Lima culture constructed ceremonial spaces and residential areas using adobe building techniques.
Recent excavations in November 2023 uncovered five mummies at the site, including four children and one adult, dating back approximately 1,000 years.
Visitors can join guided tours of the archaeological site to examine the ancient structures and learn about the discoveries made during ongoing excavations.
The archaeological complex contains multiple layers of occupation, with evidence showing subsequent modifications by Wari and Inca civilizations after the Lima culture.
